Wow, interfaith cooperation through organic farming: it doesn't get better than this!
(although I am interested in what this guy thinks the OT says about "responsible capitalism")
This article is about what the farmers are doing, and it's great. Now I hope I can help convince the consumers that they need to be concerned about this stuff also!

Hi. I just happened upon this blurb while Googling for something sort of related. Although no one might see this, so many months after the fact, I wanted to call your attention to another issue that an ecumenical/Interfaith group of religious leaders was able to find common ground on, which ended up with "A Religious Proclamation for Animal Compassion" (which is a starting point, and not the end goal).
ReplyDeleteI have links to some of the talks that were given in Washington DC, along with an icon that people of all faiths can click, to sign-on to the Proclamation. If interested, please see either http://episcoveg.weblogger.com, or go straight to
http://bestfriends.org/signproc to read, and hopefully, sign on to the Proclamation.
Please spread the word.
Thanks, if you do!
